interesting, what are your use cases?

I can’t answer that question exactly because that’s driving Chrome, but I wrote an AppleScript the other day to make zoom less dreadful. I annotate on screens all day and there are no useful shortcuts for moving between drawing and erasing. Also the drawing button requires 2 clicks. I’ve wired my wacom tablet so the two buttons fire off shortcuts, they run a service I’ve registered in the menus, they run the applescript, it fishes about for the right windows in zoom and clicks the buttons. It could not have worked but it just happens to because I can trigger a button and then focus moves to the next button (which I can’t otherwise target) and then I can push “space” to get the job done.

  Here’s one of the scripts if anyone wants to see how weird it all is. tell application "System Events" repeat with theProcess in processes if not background only of theProcess then tell theProcess set processName to name set theWindows to windows end tell set windowsCount to count of theWindows if processName is "zoom.us" then repeat with theWindow in theWindows tell theWindow set theSize to size set windowName to name end tell if windowName is "annotation panel" then if item 1 of theSize is 776 then tell theWindow to tell button 5 to click key code 49 else tell theWindow to tell button 4 to click key code 49 end if end if end repeat end if end if end repeat end tell

Safari, not Chrome, but here's an AppleScript I use to map a trackpad gesture to the "next page" link on a wide variety of Web sites, tell application "Safari" to do JavaScript " (() => { const loc = Array .from(document.querySelectorAll('[rel=\"next\"], .next, [title=\"Next page\"]')) .map(i => i.getAttribute('href')).filter(i => i)[0]; if (loc) { document.location = loc; } })() " in document 1 s/next/prev/g s/Next/Previous/ for the matching "previous page" script. Note that this requires Safari's "AllowJavaScriptFromAppleEvents" preference to be set, either via a "Develop" menu option or directly in its preferences file via, e.g., the defaults write com.apple.Safari AllowJavaScriptFromAppleEvents -bool TRUE shell command, and that this setting allows any program you authorize[1] to send Apple Events to Safari to potentially do Terrible Things. Given that the setting is both disabled and hidden by default, and additionally gated by an opt-in privacy preference, it's presumably an unlikely target for garden-variety malware, however. [1] Check the Automation group in the Privacy tab of the Security & Privacy preference pane for a list of programs so authorized.
